South Florida Pirate Radio Operator Arrested on Felony Charge

Abdias Datis, an alleged longtime illegal broadcaster in the Miami area who is also known as “DJ AJ” and “DJ 305,” was arrested while on the air Tuesday by Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office deputies.

He was charged with a third-degree felony for “unauthorized transmissions to, or interference with, a public or commercial radio station.” WPLG(TV) in Miami first reported the arrest.

Since at least 2018, according to the FCC, Datis has operated “Unique FM” on 91.7 FM without a license from Miami-Dade county. The commission proposed a $325,000 for Datis’ operation of the station in February, which apparently did not deter his broadcasts.

Datis, 50, no stranger to enforcement action, was charged with similar offenses in North Miami Beach in 2006 and 2007, according to Radio World’s review of his arrest affidavit.
